Well you read it right... I was at the beach this past weekend and was sitting at a stop light when this older guy pulls up beside me in a titan and i thought nothing of it since after all it is a full size truck. so i left the light like normal (getting up to speed faster than the person beside me) but he stayed right with me then he floored it and i floored it and he left me... I dunno what I'm more embarassed about... the fact i lost to a full size truck or the fact i had my A/C on. I have, however, heard that those trucks are pretty quick for what they are but I always had my doubts.

BTW I normally don't street race, and even then it was up to the speed limit. I lost a good friend in a bike accident that way... So yea... Thoughts?

Not being one of those "omg stop street racing and go to church and eat your vegetable and never break the law" people, and not hating on them either, they have their personal reasons

But street racing is street racing, at any speed, and where I live its worse then a DUI

so the excuse "Oh we weren't speeding though" wont work, just warning ya haha

I wouldn't go as far to say they are fast as f***, but for what they are they are quick off the line. One of my friends had one awhile back and he said he had his up to 140 and i laughed at him... Who knows maybe he did, but I'm the one with the Tiburon.

um.....There's no governor(giggle) just the ecu controls the fuel cutoff.....and I seriously doubt the owner of a Titan spent the money to have someone remove his rev limiter....he could have, but I doubt it :3_confuse and +1 to what Photo said <head shake>:3_sleepey

well im sure a lot of people doubt the owner of a tiburon would spend the money to change their rev limiter but we all know that isnt the case. there are car enthusiasts that own just about anything these days. lol

and i only said governor cuz i didnt know if it was ecu controlled or something else.

lol yes it is (the hhr). i am not saying that the titan does not run good (my friend has one) but it is a truck and unless you are running 10's in a car (or truck i guess) it is not really fast as fk. it does run good though.

a little off topic but i need to get a vid of me passing someone in the hhr ss, it is funny as hell. if i floor it to go around someone going 50mph or slower it will squeal the tires pretty loud where it is making good power and is fwd.

it is really comical to see the looks on peoples face when i go to pass and they hear tires squealing and see this boxy soccer mom thing is tearing around them. funny sh*t.

Most likely you had a bad jump, dnt feal so bad. I had this happen to me and instead of it bein a titan it was a Chevrolet Avalanch lmao!

some old guy and i had my AC on and well, started just like yours from a light and then i hear him gunen it too keep up with me and by the time he was half a car infront of me i decided to punch it and catch up and figured i would pass him BUUUUT lmao i couldnt really catch up enough to pass, I MANAGED TO START TO PULL on him and then let off casue it was on the street
I had my AC on too, but yep i just had a late jump and was toooo cocky lol, i know if i had tryed of the line even with ac on i would have takin him =)
We came to the next light and i looked over and just smiled at him and laughed =D and he laughed too, i was really just laughin cause ok you beat me, but if we did that again, the results would been very different so I didn't care lol it was funny...

my friend back in high school had a old rustbucket ford escort. when you were going up the mountain and he would turn off the a/c it would feel like you hit boost lol. you would go from 15mph up the mountain to a terrifying 20mph up the mountain. that thing was the most underpowerd car i have ever seen in my life lol.
